> im affraid of clozaril its the strongest anti psychotic on the market, its like the king of the second generation atypicals
Clozaril is the weakest of the "second generation atypicals" and has the least proven relation of any towards tardive dyskinesia whatsoever.
That being said, I dont know what country you're in, but in the US, for its reintroduction to the market, Novartis Pharma requires a $9,000 monitoring program to prevent other things that, if any should be more concerning. It runs around a 2% risk of agranulocytosis, or low white blood cell count and blood draws must be monitored on a regular basis.
Otherwise, its basically like its cousin Zyprexa, with a somewhat greater percentage of urinary conditions.
That all being said... if you truly want to make a try at your condition... then you go with the above as "informed consent".I say all this with feeling your discomfort but you have to try one thing at a time, and eventually something will help you more than another. I leave you with an American quote -- As Yogi Berra said, If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
